This traveller got the coolest Antarctic experience we’ve ever seen

written by Intrepid Travel February 24, 2016

We’re all for getting close to nature, but this is just ridiculous. Antarctic traveller Emma Gilchrist (hereby referred to as the luckiest girl in the world) got the surprise of her life when a posse of humpback whales surfaced right next to her kayak. It’s fair to say there’s no guarantee this will happen to you on your Antarctic expedition, but do you know where it’s even less likely to happen? NOT IN ANTARCTICA. Think about it.

Thanks to Emma for the video. You can check out more of Emma’s adventures on Twitter. Feature image c/o Yellow Magpie, Flickr

Marrakech is synonymous with sensory overload. But if you slow down and tune in to the everyday rhythm of local life – often found in the souks of the labyrinthine medina and the city’s vibrant main square – a distinctly Moroccan beat emerges.
